Total Time 20 15

2-2 1/2 lbs chicken or beef bones
1 medium onion cut into 4 wedges
2-3 cloves of garlic smashed
2 medium carrots
2 stalks of celery
2-3 thin slices of fresh ginger peeled and sliced to about the size of a quarter
1/3 cup dried mushrooms
3-4 peppercorns
1 Bay leaf
3 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
sea salt to taste
8-10 cups water

Place the bones you will use on a cooking sheet and roast in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes. This will help bring out the flavor as they cook in the Crock Pot.
While the bones are roasting, clean all vegetables. Peel and cut the onion and ginger. I prefer to leave the greens on the celery stalks.
After 15 minutes, use a pair of tongs to transfer the bones to the Crock Pot.
Layer all the vegetables, mushrooms, bay leaf and peppercorns on top.
Add the peppercorns and Apple Cider Vinegar.
Pour 8-10 cups of water over the top. Just enough to cover the bones and vegetables but not to the top of the Crock Pot.
Add sea salt to taste.
Cover and cook on low at least 10 hours and up to 20 hours.
After cooking, let the broth cool for an hour.
Once cooled off, set a large pot in the sink and using a mesh strainer, slowly ladle or pour the contents of the bone broth through the strainer, into the pot.
The bone broth will filter through the strainer.
Finally, from the pot, you can use your Crock Pot bone broth immediately or save portions for future use.
